Beting Beras Basah at night

 Continuing from Victoria Bridge with friends.

From Victoria Bridge we headed south-west towards Teluk Intan making stops in Kuala Kangsar, Manong, Kampung Semat, Beruas, Kampung Pasir Panjang Hulu, Kampung Pulau Besar and Air Kuning. After Teluk Intan we went straight to Bagan Datoh on to this area seen in the picture...

It leads to the jetty of Beting Beras Basah. We arrived at the entrance at 7.25 pm.

From the entrance we have to walk quite a distance to get to the jetty...

Despite the dark we went on to the jetty situated at the Perak river mouth southern bank...

Thank God we get to view the sand bank towards the middle of the river which leads to the name Beting Beras Basah. Actually you can catch it in this picture if examined closely and carefully. For pictures during day time look at the following old articles :-

Victoria Bridge with friends

On to the final day of the Kedah trip 12-14th November 2021. Continuing from Looking at the aftermath of the river disaster at Titi Hayun in Yan.

After Yan we went to Sungai Petani and then took the back road behind Kulim before entering the state of Perak from around Selama. After spending the night in Temong, Kuala Kangsar we went to the Victoria Bridge at Karai.

I have visited this 120-plus-year old railway bridge 3-4 times before.

The last time was more than 2 years ago.

 So what's wrong in making another visit, this time with different friends?

Looking at the aftermath of the river disaster at Titi Hayun in Yan

 Continuing from Looking around Kuala Kedah fort.

From Kuala Kedah we headed some 40 km south to this place at Titi Hayun in Yan.

It is a private resort house complex situated along a river.

About a month ago heavy downpour has caused the river to swell and overflow sweeping up mud, stones and such.

What you see here is the aftermath after some time the river has been cleaned up...
